“I’m not not going to say it’s boring, but we do the same stuff and run the same plays,” Parker said. “After 11 years, it’s the same stuff but we have to do it because we have a lot of young guys and new guys too. You have to do it and with the national team we run the same plays. So, it’s the same thing.”

But Parker was careful to emphasize that he didn’t say he was disinterested in getting ready for his 11th NBA season.
